Abstract
In this study, the Mathematics Lab Attitude Scale consisting of 36 Items is developedfor
Secondaryschool students. Scale consisted of Six sub-dimensions such as Self-Efficacy and
Mathematics Lab, Mathematics lab and Usefulness, Mathematics lab and teacher
perception,Anxiety and Mathematics Lab, Enjoyment and Mathematics Lab and Mathematics lab
and its knowledge. The statements of response are given with five levels of agreement. Reliability
was established by Test-Retest method, Split Half Method and Cronbach’s Alpha method.This
scale shows that the mathematical attitudes of Secondary school students can be measured more
accurately by using less mathematical attitude items.
